ClickHouse

ClickHouse is an open-source, high-performance analytics database designed for real-time data analysis on large datasets.

It uses a columnar storage format, allowing it to read only the data needed for each query. This makes it significantly faster than traditional row-based databases for analytics and reporting.


Observability with Pulse

Pulse provides ClickHouse observability by providing a unified platform to monitor query performance, system health, resource utilization across clusters, etc.

This capability enables you to:

  • Monitor ClickHouse component health (Keeper, Server, Web Server) in real time.

  • Analyze logs to troubleshoot issues and correlate events.

  • Track query performance and resource usage with visual insights.

  • Trace query spans (individual query operations) in the Trace Timeline to visualize execution flow

  • Detect and fix bottlenecks using Pulse custom alerts and charts.

  • Build custom dashboards and visualizations for continuous observability and optimization.


Before You Begin

To view ClickHouse data in the Pulse UI, make sure you:

  • Configure your Hadoop cluster to send metrics and query data to Pulse.

  • Configure Pulse to process and display the collected ClickHouse metrics.
